"I felt like I fit in more there," said McCray. "And it was like, a new place I could go visit. Like, a new experience for me."

"Thank my whole family, thank God, thank the football program at Lee County High School," said West. "And, I feel blessed to have the opportunity to go play college football."

McCray was an All Region player for the Trojans.

In addition to guard, he's started at center, tackle and even full back.
